Reply To: More plates than I should have

Isn't that the trigger — CMYK? (You don't mention it, but you must be using Yellow somewhere as well.)

One of the spots is a pantone yellow, one is a pantone blue, one a pantone red.

No registration marks.

I send an exported pdf to the shop. Other color jobs that I have sent out to the shop don't do this. I'm pretty sure that I don't have any transparancy at all in the file. It is a simple letterhead with text and 3 graphics. But I'll check out the file to be sure.

Thanks for your help guys! Any additional ideas are welcome!!!!
